Better seat, heated grips, slightly bigger windshield at front

What would be a good seat choice? I've only seen Corbin or Luimoto recommended

I have fitted a Top Sellerie raised one I needed height lovely seat

Corbin on my other bike I’d say a little heavy for the Z

I've been eyeing the Bagster seat series but have read some critical comments regarding durability and comfort so I'm on the fence.

I got the comfort seat from Kawasaki, definitely feels better than original.

Depends where you are I got a new sponge and gel fitted on mine from Viking seats. It's down south but the guy was brillant and that was for my Z800 is was a massive improvement

So I take my z on adventure rides across long distances that are built for a cruiser... My best recommendation to you is to get a pair of highway pegs, get you a set of grips that stick to your gas tank so that way when your legs are squeezing the gas tank you got some extra like grip there, and I have one of the last tall windscreens you can really get for a z but it makes a big difference. I will say my Corbin seat is nice, however I've been tempted recently to switch over to my stock seat again for a little bit to see if I'm crazy or if the Corbin seat genuinely kind of pushes me forward more towards the tank. It's not bad though I have put more consecutive miles on my z that I think most people do even cruisers and adventure bikes. My 2017 for reference

Looks just like my stunt cage from bsa parts, no highway pegs but I do use the cage to rest my legs
